Privacy & Security Regulation: Threat to the Growth and Adoption of Location-Based Services?. CommNexus. There has been much talk on internet privacy, collection and sale of user data, etc. But what about the collection, use and sale of a userís location. Many applications provide warnings on download that the application may collect your location among other personal information, but we say OK, and download the app anyway. Is this a self inflicted wound or an abuse of our privacy? Can or should the wireless industry self regulate? Are we free to share our location or do we need help from Big Brother to protect us?
